A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat

ion. The car comes to a stop in a distance of 120 m. How fast was the car moving when it was 60.0 m past the point where the brakes were applied?

Answer:

17 m/s

Explanation:

Data

initial speed, Vi = 24 m/s

distance travelled, x = 120 m

final speed, Vf = 0 m/s

With help of the next Uniformly Accelerated Motion equation, we can compute car acceleration.

Vf² = Vi² + 2ax

a = Vf² - Vi²/(2x) 

a = 0² - 24²/(2*120) 

a = -2.4 m/s²

Now, the final speed is the unknown and the distance is 60 m:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ax

Vf = √(24² + 2*(-2.4)*60)

Vf = 17 m/s

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The distance is 2.58\times10^{7}\ m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time \Delta t = 0.2\ s

The velocity is no more than a 14 % error in the speed of light.

So,

Velocity v= c\times 86\%

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of speed

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

d = v\times t

Where, v = speed

d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

d = 3\times10^{8}\times\dfrac{86}{100}\times0.2

d=516\times10^{5}\ m

We know that,

The one side distance d' is

d'=\dfrac{d}{2}

d'=\dfrac{516\times10^{5}}{2}

d'=2.58\times10^{7}\ m

Hence, The distance is 2.58\times10^{7}\ m.

A thin film of oil (n = 1.27) is located on smooth, wet pavement. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the pavement, th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on interference in thin films

refractive index of water is more than given oil so there will be phase change of π at upper and lower layer of the film .

a )

for constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ where t is thickness of layer , μ is refractive index , λ is wavelength and n is order of the fringe

Putting the values

2 x 1.27 t = n x 640

2 x 1.27 t =  640 ( for minimum thickness n = 1 )

t = 252 nm .

b )

2 x 1.27 t = m₁  λ₁

for destructive interference

2μt = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2 x 1.27 t =(2m₂+1)λ₂/2

m₁ λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2m₁λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = λ₂ / λ₁

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = 548/ 640

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = .85625

2m₁ = .85625 (2m₂+1)

This is the required relation between m₁ and m₂

denpristay [2]
Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx
